It’s RotoViz, so you know we’re always in favor of inexpensive opportunities and contrarian plays. Now that we know Arian Foster will miss extensive time this season, some of us might be tempted to acquire him on the cheap in dynasty leagues. Such a move would be predicated on Foster having more value in the future than he does right now. Here are three reasons why I…...

Fantasy football updates for Doug Martin, Ameer Abdullah, Michael Crabtree, and more. Doug Martin Was affirmed as Tampa Bay’s starter by Lovie Smith. Of course that could change between now and the season, but I think it’s a little harder for a coach to change their mind once they’ve gone on record. Martin’s ADP (RB34) makes him one of the last backs with RB1 upside…....

Fantasy football news, covering Oakland’s running backs, Seattle’s passing game, Pittsburgh’s wide receivers, and more. Trent Richardson Another day, another negative report. Asked about Trent Richardson’s chances of making #Raiders: 50%, I’m told. Besides Latavius Murray, competition with Roy Helu & Michael Dyer — Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) August 2, 2015 And more positive Roy Helu news. Helu is technically Latavius Murray’s backup, but should also…...

Quick-hitting thoughts about Joseph Randle, Juwan Thompson, Marqise Lee, and more. Stephen Hill If he wasn’t done before, he probably is now, after an apparently severe knee injury. Juwan Thompson Is earning positive buzz in Broncos camp. That’s great. But with CJ Anderson having so much upside, and Montee Ball having a more expensive contract, it’s hard to have much hope for Thompson. He showed well in limited…...

Breshad Perriman Ran with the ones today. So much for Kamar Aiken running with the ones, as he did during OTAs. We disparaged Aiken’s chances of making an impact earlier this offseason. Of course, we highlighted Darren Waller as a deep sleeper likely to overtake him. But ESPN recently projected Waller to miss the cut, and be left off the 53 man roster. Call me stubborn, but I’d still…...

ADP So…a two game suspension feels a lot different than a three game suspension, doesn’t it? With word also emerging that his knee appears healthy, expect Bell’s ADP to percolate back up. Here’s his ADP trend from February through last week.   And here it is since July 25th. Not that it dropped that far, but your odds of getting him with a non-first-overall selection…...

Stephen Hill Was busted for posession of drug paraphenilia. Time to add his bust to the Marvin McNutt Memorial For Wide Receivers Who Didn’t Break Out So Good. I guess I’m saying no, there’s not a chance. Not that Hill was likely to beat him out anyway, but Hill’s likely departure removes a theoretical threat to some Kelvin Benjamin / Devin Funchess targets. Funchess has had…...

In a recent staff email thread, Fantasy Douche wondered which running back would be of the most fantasy interest, if said RB wound up in Dallas. I took the bait and came up with the following list. Who’s Available? In order to figure out which RB would be the most interesting in Dallas, I first tried to figure out which RBs have a decent chance…...

From Buffalo News: There’s a reason Harvin has already been with three teams… and has yet to establish himself as a strong receiving presence. Despite his veteran status, Harvin needed plenty of detailed instruction on how to run routes during the offseason. He made progress, but needs to make more. Huh. So Percy Harvin doesn’t know how to run routes. He’s also apparently the league’s most…...

We sent out the bat signal to the RotoViz writing crew to make a case for the players they want 100% exposure to in 2015. This is what they sent in. Bishop Sankey I took Sankey in the ninth round of a mid-stakes league the other night and as I was making the pick it occurred to me that you basically can’t screw up that…...

Harry Douglas ESPN projects the Titans’ starting wide receivers to be Kendall Wright and…Harry Douglas. That’s an interesting, but not unreasonable, projection. First, Justin Hunter has been a disappointment when he’s played, and his recent off field problems might see him suspended or even released, depending on the outcome. There’s no guarantee he even sticks with the team, let alone starts. And Dorial Green-Beckham offers scintillating potential, but is…...

Using the Cheat Sheet Calculator and MFL10 ADP, I generated a set of players to target – and avoid. My criteria were simple. I searched for quarterbacks and tight ends drafted in the top 12 at their position, and running backs and wide receivers in the top 24. From there, I identified the three players at each position with the biggest discrepancy – either good or…...

Adrian Peterson Here’s Peterson’s ADP in dynasty startups since the beginning of the year. Peterson has almost returned to the same ADP he enjoyed last summer at this time, and with news that he’s re-worked his contract with the Vikings, I’d expect his ADP (and trade value) to inch even higher. While we project Peterson to have a solid 2015 (currently projected to finish as RB5), it’s…...
